Nose

Sweet, dense and indulgent, like only the best puds: Jamaican ginger cake, sticky toffee pudding and treacle tart with warm caramel sauce.

Palate

More ginger cake, now a richly fruited and spiced sponge with currants, sultanas, dried peel and glacé cherries before nostalgic spotted dick with hot vanilla custard.

Finish

Spicy and long, a finish to savour.

Comment

Well structured, balanced and just delicious. It drinks well at such a high ABV too. One to revisit again and again.
